Wednesday, October 26 and Thursday, October 27

So for the first time of what I believe will be many, I skipped a day. So now, I will blog 2 days in one! So for Wednesday, work was cancelled so I got to stay home all day until church. Unfortunately, I'm quite disappointed in the lack of productivity of the day. I hands down did not use the time given me efficiently. It also was a day where I missed my friends terribly. It was one of those days where facebook and texts were just not cutting it. So yesterday, I went to bed very thankful that His mercies are new every morning! He doesn't use our faults and failings against us, but stands ready to forgive and offer new mercies with the morning light! Now onto Thursday. Oh my goodness, this day did not start out right. It started with banging my elbow hard on my bed frame, getting frustrated about a missing check, and lack of time. When I got on facebook this morning before work, I found a friend's blog talking about her experience with the same sort of morning(except she walked into a door frame;). This was the verse she posted! “…since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weakness, but we have one who has been tempted in every way just as we are - yet without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16. This ministered to me so much throughout the day! You know what? His grace was right there and I thoroughly enjoyed work and really just felt a complete peace about being where God wants me right now! I am so thankful for running across that blog this morning and being pointed in the right direction. For God's peace, mercy, and grace, I am most thankful! So for honesty's sake, as I am sitting here posting these wonderful things that I am thankful for, I am struggling to be thankful. The last few days have just been very hard knowing that for now, I believe the Lord would have me to be here and I have peace about that(as I said above), but all of my bestest buddies and friends live in other states. It's sometimes just really hard to have a great time with family, a great time at work, and then talk to friends online and start missing them all over again. So, this is all to say, Please pray for me that I would be thankful for the friendships that I have and thankful even for the distance.
